Calves Stretch Static Position
Forearms on a wall and both feet stepped back together, the body leans in as one line so both calves stretch at once; held still.
How to do it
Setup
Facing a wall, forearms on it at shoulder height, feet together a long step back, heels down.
Steps
- Lean the whole body toward the wall, knees straight.
- Press both heels down until both calves stretch.
- Hold and breathe; time it.
Common mistakes
Heels lifting: walk the feet a little closer until they stay down. Hips piking back: keep one line from the heels to the head. Knees bending: the straight legs keep the stretch in the upper calves.
Breathing
Slow and even through the hold.
